This community is broadly about network neutrality. It’s important to note a major component of #netneutrality is access equality and thus #digitalInclusion.

Yikes. As some Tor users may know, the UN drafted the Unified Declaration of Human Rights, which in principle calls for privacy respect and inclusion. That same UN blocks the Tor community from their website. Indeed, being denied access to the text that embodies our human rights is rich in irony.

Well that same UN plans to create a “Global Digital Compact” to protect digital human rights. It’s a good idea, but wow, they just don’t have their shit together. I have so little confidence that they can grasp the problems they are hoping to solve. Cloudflare probably isn’t the least bit worried. Competence prevailing, Cloudflare should be worried, theoretically, but the UN doesn’t have the competence to even know who Cloudflare is.

The UN should just open source all that as a GitHub repo with some pandoc magic. Not everything has to be directly served, and honestly, I'd like more of that to be served as data rather than as a service.

Heck, UN bodies spit out repos like it's their job... which is correct. Machine readable general assemblies even.
